MADISON COUNTY SCHOOLS Superintendent Ronnie McGehee said he believes proposed changes to high-school math courses for Common Core will be productive, but he is concerned about middle-school students who haven’t been introduced to Common Core yet.

In 2010, the Mississippi Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and schools started implementing them in stages, mostly in the lower grades. In the 2014-15 school year, districts will need to be fully aligned with CCSS in order to prepare for new assessments.
